AIDS is a sexually-transmitted disease. Practise "safer sex"

"Safer sex is any sexual practice that reduces the risk of passing HIV from one person to another. The best protection is to choose sexual activities that do not allow semen, vaginal fluid or blood (including menstrual blood) to enter the vagina, mouth or anus or touch the skin where there is an open cut or sore. These fluids carry HIV and can spread the disease. Some people choose to continue sexual activity, specific safer practices include: A mutually faithful relationship between two uninfected partners. Using a condom for all types of intercourse - vaginal, anal and oral. Nonpenetrative sexual practices such as hugging, kissing, rubbing and masturbating. Reducing the number of sexual partners. Avoiding sex when you have open sores or any sexually transmitted disease (STD). Avoiding sex with partners who have open sores or STDs. While some practices are obviously safer than others, choose the approach that best suits you. Adopt a healthy lifestyle. Avoid AIDS. Choose Health.
